NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF GEMFIBROZIL

摘要

The present invention provides for a method for inhibiting growth of a bacterium which consists essentially of contacting the bacterium with a compound having a specific structure as disclosed. The compound is present in a concentration effective to inhibit growth of the bacterium. The bacterial infections to be inhibited may be those associated with Legionella pneumophila, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus Megaterium, Pseudomonas Oleovorans, Alcaligenes eutrophus, Rhodococcus sp., Citrobacter freundi, Group A Streptococcus sp., Coag neg Staphylococcus aureus or Nocardia sp..
